3. Acknowledgement
I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to
our Professor Mr. Snehanshu Shekhar who gave me the
golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the
topic 8085 micro processor training kit which also helped
us in understanding the topic and we came to know about
so many new things. I am really thankful to him.

4. PTI (programmable Interval Timer)
 The 8253 chip was used in the IBM PC/XT, but starting
with the IBM PC/AT, the 8254 replaced the 8253.
 8253 and 8254 have exactly the same pinout.
 8254 is a superset of the 8253.

 Inside the 8253/54 timer, there
are 3 counters.
 Each timer works
independently and
programmed separately.
 Each counter is assigned an
individual port address.
 The control register common
to all 3 counters and has its
own port.

12. The figure shows the one-byte control word of the 8253/54.
 D0 chooses between a binary number divisor of 0000 to
FFFFH or a BCD divisor of 0000 to 9999H.
 The highest number is 216 for binary and 104 for BCD.
 To get the highest count, the counter is loaded with zeros.
 D1, D2, and D3 are for mode selection.
Control word

13. • D4 and D5 are for RL0 and RL1
• RL0 and RL1 are used to indicate the size of the divisor, and have
3 options:
1. Read/write MSB only
2. Read/write LSB only
3. Read/write LSB first followed immediately by the MSB.
